The Santa Rita Jail Information

The facility holds about 4000 inmates housed in one of eighteen modern housing units. It is considered a "mega-jail" and ranks as the third largest facility in California and the fifth largest in the nation. Santa Rita is accredited by the American Correctional Association, thus making it the only facility in California holding this prestigious award.

It is recognized as one of the most technologically innovative jails in the world. A robotic system speeds delivery of laundry, supplies and food to all areas of the 113-acre campus. State-of-the-art criminal justice systems serve the internal operation while the largest rooftop solar power system converts enough electricity to power nearly one-half of the facilities electrical needs during daylight hours.

Sheriff Ahern's philosophy of cost-effective delivery of services is reflected in the private sector partnerships that support the jail's operation. A modem cook-chill food service operation produces 12,000 economical meals per day. On site medical and mental health services saves money while reducing the patient load at county medical facilities.

Throughout its history, the Santa Rita Jail Facility has served the criminal justice system and contributed to the safety of the citizen of the County of Alameda by providing a safe, secure and humane environment for inmates and staff.

Santa Rita Jail News

I often hear parents say, "Do you think I should leave him in jail to teach him a lesson?" There are no good lessons to be learned in jail. For the most part the Santa Rita Jail is about day to day survival between inmates. Inmates must protect themselves against theft, fights and must learn to follow a double set of rules. One set from the guards and the other set of rules the inmates go by. Jail is not a place for a first time offender of a DUI, domestic violence or resisting arrest charge to be learning any lessons. Take a look at some of the news stories from the Santa Rita Jail.

The Santa Rita Jail goes into Lock down. Dublin, California

Violence erupted at the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin Monday, authorities confine thousands of inmates to their cells. Jail officials say they were concerned about escalating tensions after a fight broke out in the yard at one of the jails minimum security units. As a result, they shut down the entire jail system, minimum and maximum security units. Alameda County Sheriff officials say the initial fight involved one Latino and one black inmate. Authorities are investigating if it's indicative of larger racial tensions inside the jail. The Santa Rita Jail authorities says it started, as minimum security inmates in the yard were getting ready for lunch. A deputy noticed that some of the inmates' bagged lunches were gone. The deputy said if the lunches were not returned, yard time would be revoked. After their outdoor time was taken away, tempers flared and fists began to fly. At least one inmate was seriously hurt and had to be taken to the hospital. The lock down was imposed for at least 24 hours. Officials expect it to be lifted Tuesday afternoon.

Inmate Death at the Santa Rita Jail - Dublin, California

"The death of an inmate at Santa Rita Jail three years ago is costing Alameda County and its jail health care provider $1 million to settle a federal lawsuit.

The family of Martin Harrison sued the county in 2011 alleging that the 51-year-old was "beaten, repeatedly struck, kicked, brutalized, repeatedly tased and improperly restrained" by sheriff's deputies inside his cell block on Aug. 16, 2010. He died two days after the confrontation.

Alameda County is forking over $500,000 as part of a settlement with Harrison's 10-year-old son. The other half-million is coming from Tennessee-based Corizon Health, which contracts with the county to provide health services at the jail.

Harrison, who was from Oakland, had been arrested several days before his death for failing to appear for a court hearing on a drunken-driving charge. He was a chronic alcoholic but otherwise healthy, said Oakland lawyer John Burris, who represented the 10-year-old son.

"The child lost his dad and it's been devastating for him," Burris said Friday.

A fight with Alameda County sheriff's deputies, who guard inmates at the Dublin jail, began after Harrison was acting erratically and making a mess of his cell, breaking food trays, screaming and blocking a toilet -- behaviors that might have been tied to his severe alcohol withdrawal, according to his family's lawsuit.

The Sheriff's Office has said Harrison broke free and charged at deputies who were trying to persuade him to move from the cell so it could be cleaned. Two of the officers were placed on administrative leave after the death but were later reinstated after an internal investigation.

A deputy who deployed his Taser to shock and subdue Harrison testified in a deposition last year that the inmate had ignored his warnings and moved at him aggressively. He also said Harrison's demeanor in the days before the confrontation was "as somebody who may have been (for the) first time in jail, kind of maybe lost a little bit. Didn't know where he kind of fit in. Wasn't, you know, hanging around any other inmates."

The lawsuit accused deputies of using extreme and deadly force against Harrison, causing him to be transferred to the jail infirmary and eventually a nearby hospital, where he died after having a heart attack. It also claims he did not get proper medical care from Prison Health Services, which later merged with Corizon.

Four adult children of Harrison are also pursuing their own litigation with the county and Corizon. That case has not been resolved.

Of the $1 million settlement costs split by the county and Corizon, $745,000 will go to an account for Harrison's youngest child. Other money compensates his lawyers. The boy was a 7-year-old preparing to enter second grade when his father died." 1
